The American logo thing has always annoyed me. Off the top of my head, it's also the same for things like Lost and the Office. There's one logo used for the show's title card, and another used on DVDs/trailers/streaming thumbnails and so on. It's daft!

The one that annoys me the most is Seinfeld, because it’s almost the same but not quite.

Is it a case of one looking better in print in someone’s option.

I’ve always wondered if there was a non-Home Edition of Extreme Makeover. That seems to be the only one shown here.

No it was originally a weight loss show and the Home Edition was its companion show. Eventually the Weight Loss edition was dropped and the Home Edition became wildly popular.

IIRC the original show was actually about cosmetic surgery. It was quite controversial.

Indeed, it seems to be that a print and advertising logo is developed quite separately to the in-show graphics - but that just doesn’t typically happen here.

I think the Seinfeld logo was a bad attempt at digitizing it later on.

Well leading up to the premiere of the show on Wednesday. CBS has allowed three 15 min leaks from the house over the last week or so. Last night was a 15 min leak. Twitter was going nuts. Both North American versions (Canada & US) the houseguest are already in the house when the show premieres and before the live feeds start. There is no live show to start the series. They build up a weeks worth of content. But to build online hype for the show this year, they have unusually allowed these leaks and they arent accidental. And they have seemingly changed the feed music from the annoying theme they have had. So thats new. I wonder if the main program will get a new or updated theme. The graphics will seemingly be the same.

Also CBS has a bit of social media mess on its hands. Since the celeb version was announced fans has gravitated to and been actively using #CBBUS. Well as usual CBS does something different and they have faced backlash ever since they have been trying change the hashtag to #BBCeleb. Twitter has not been kind to CBS for trying to change it. They like to operate in an alternate universe that no other Big Brother versions exist. Yeah its one of the oldest, but come on.

CBS's POPtv which broadcasts live stream from the Big Brother House for several hours each night and will do so this year, always has better on-air presentation than the mothership on CBS. They added glasses to the owl this year and a star in the eye.....makes me hate CBS presentation even more. Why does the companion show have better presentation? Ridiculous.

Re: the hashtag. This is why they don't need to be on screen - viewers use what they want anyway.

CBS actually released badly composed photoshop mess as an official press picture. So frustrating.

So the casting of Omarosa is starting to pay off for CBS. They collectively wet themselves when this happened. Apparently this conversation will air tonight.
If you dont know her, she was on the 1st series of The Apprentice (hosted by Trump) and was on several reality shows and reappeared on the Apprentice again. Then she is appointed to some non-existent role in the White House and then got sacked. Now she is talking about the chaos in the administration. Messy.
